Team for Scunthorpe (H)

[CMRoyal]

Kebe is fit, so team picks itself:-

Fed
Griff
Mills
Pearce
Williams
Tabb
Howard
Kebe
McAnuff
Sig
Church

I reckon the central midfield will be Gunnarsson and Karacan. Scunny are a big side, and have a big chap in midfiled, so Gunnar will need to look after him. They also have a playmaker so Karacan will be deployed to snap at him. Tabb and Howard would be too small to challenge the height of Scunny so they could miss out this time round.

Would be amazed if the central midfield is anything other than Tabb and Howard. We shouldn't need to change personnel to deal with Scunthorpe's danger men. I'm more than happy with Tabb to do the scrappy stuff for us anyway.

I thought there was a rule that if a player gets a knock to the head (as Long did last week) they can't play for like 10 days or something, or doesn't that apply if they knock their head in a friendly and if not, why? A bit of concussion is a bit of concussion shirley?

There's no law on it

When Kitson got Carlo Nashed against Preston in the title winning season he played a week later so a rule on concussion definitely doesn't exist.

According to Jonny Fordham in the EP Strap's right and McDermott has dropped Tabb and Howard. IIRC his starting predictions are usually pretty accurate but I'm surprised McDermott's announced his side to the press already.
